A note from the President:
Within the next few weeks we will begin to deliver my newest creation, the Camacho Triple Maduro.
A blend that has taken me nine months to develop.
Ladies and gentlemen, I can proudly say that next to the Diploma, this is my proudest creation. I am absolutely enamored with the look, feel and taste of this cigar. Especially knowing what it took to make a cigar with all maduro tobacco to blend.
I only hope that those of you who try this cigar are able to enjoy and appreciate what an achievement this has been. So, if you happen upon one of these cigars, please take your time to sit back and relax and know that this cigar was blended by one of the biggest fans of tobacco.
The only desired result is that YOU enjoy this cigar after every puff. Never mind what others say or comment; make this YOUR cigar for which YOU and ONLY YOU will tell you how much you love it.
However, please keep in mind that in order to maximize your enjoyment of this cigar, they must be kept in the perfect environment! This tobacco and this blend are unlike anything else you have smoked, if you rush the smoking of this cigar you are seriously cheating yourself out of one fantastic smoke. Just make sure the cigars are neither too dry nor too moist.
Thank you.
Christian Eiroa
P.S. Only 300 K were made this year, please be sure to contact your local store and reserve a box ASAP.
